Oedipus is so blinded by his pride that he can not accept ... murderer of Laios. He describes the murderer of Laios as "blind instead of seeing, beggar instead of rich, he will make his way to foreign soil, feeling his way with a stick" (31).

- ... he discovers the true source of evil, the Lord of the Flies, and is later betrayed by his friends. Being an enthusiastic and long time book reader, I think Lord of the Flies is a great book. It is very intriguing and seems to place a terrible spell over the reader who gets lured into this arousing adventure. I spent four days reading this book and only put it down during ... nature, values, and morals. I will probably read this book again. It was such a good novel it might possibly end up in my personal library. Lord of the Flies was also made into a great movie that captured the best aspects of the book. The best lesson I learned from Lord of the Flies is that people can not let one thing control their whole life. They can not let greed control their every action and thought so that it corrupts them into acting on an evil purpose. Lord of the Flies was a great novel and I know when ever I think about this book, the scene I see is one of a young boy talking to a bloody pig's head on a stick in the middle ...

- ... the animal rights movement. I believe this is an attack on science of the worst kind. If we allow it to prevail it will take us back to the dark ages."
